This project took me over 5 years... well but only a few weeks of actual work ;-)
When I started I didn't know if I would/could ever finish it. A week ago I started to work on it again. Now it's finally finished (well, just some polish here and there :D )..

Some data:
Screen: 3,5" composite
Mainboard: DOL-001 EUR
Diskdrive: Wiikey-Fusion + swiss firmware
Internal: Memorycard, SD-Gecko
Battery: 14.8v 4S Li-Ion 2500mAh + BMS
Additional: 3rd-Party-Controller, one socket for loading & 12V PSU Input, Heatsink from old PrimePower 800 server, a lot sweat, blood, love & tears ;-)
Limitations: only hard+soft-press shoulder-buttons

These are from over 5 years ago, I bricked 2 mainboards before it kept running ;-)
